 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Willie Mays stepped out of the pink convertible in a narrow alley behind the left-field line, and one of baseball's greatest living players exhaled with a smile.
"That was a good ride there," Mays said, looking at the shiny 1958 Cadillac Eldorado that took him on a memorable pregame lap around the field before Tuesday night's All-Star game.
Mays made a brief but dramatic appearance at the San Francisco Giants' waterfront ballpark to kick off the night. Though a statue of the outfielder greets hundreds of tourists and fans every day in front of the stadium at 24 Willie Mays Plaza, he received the latest showcase for baseball's living heroes at its big midseason event.
